i just purchased a leadtek 6600gt to replace my 6200. i installed the newest nvidia drivers and my fps is alot more worse then my 6200 by a huge margin. the game i play is cs 1.6. could somebody tell me whats the problem and what the best performance/fps wise driver is to play cs 1.6? Comp specs -CPU Type Intel Pentium 4 630, 2985 MHz (15 x 199) -Motherboard Name MSI 865PE Neo3-F (MS-6728) (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DDR DIMM, Audio, GigabitLAN) -Motherboard Chipset Intel Springdale i865PE -System Memory [ TRIAL VERSION ] -BIOS Type AMI (11/16/04) -Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT (128 MB) -3D Accelerator nVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT AGP
In the case of the 6600GT AGP version theres a power connector like the kind you plug into a hard drive or CD/DVD-ROM at the end of the video card. Those types of connectors are Molex connectors. If the AGP card isnt getting external power through this connector it will limit itself until you plug the cable in.
If you dont have a spare power cable with a molex connector (which are the usually white plactic connectors with 4 holes) then you will need to get a splitter cable so you can get an extra molex connector
If you answered with this , sounds like your problem is not enough power . Try to use a connector with as little as possible plugged in to it . Out of curiousity what are your FPS with CS , I get 110 with stock clocks in CS:S .
